Grimace

The grimace is Rayman's initial line of defence, which he has been capable of right from the beginning of the original Rayman game. To grimace, Rayman stretches his mouth wide with his hands, sticks out his tongue, rolls his eyes and makes a gurgling sound with his throat. The power's functions vary from game to game.

Much like in the Dreamcast, iOS and 3DS versions of Rayman 2, Rayman does not use the grimace to any practical effect, nor can it be willingly triggered by the player; it plays as an idle animation if the player does not give an input for some time. Rayman can also be seen using the grimace to taunt Jano prior to their fight.
